producers and exporters will continue
to be 7.08 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.25
These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Final Results of the Review
Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review,
including the results of our analysis of
issues raised by the parties in the
written comments, within 120 days of
publication of these preliminary results
in the Federal Register, pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h)(1), unless this deadline
is extended.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping and/or countervailing
duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this POR. Failure
to comply with this requirement could
result in Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping and/or
countervailing duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties, and/or an increase
in the amount of antidumping duties by
the amount of the countervailing duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
These preliminary results are issued
and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2) and
351.221(b)(4).

declined to combine the Initiation
Notice with the preliminary results of
the CCR,3 citing the need to issue an
additional supplemental questionnaire
to GreenFirst Forest Products Inc.
(GreenFirst Forest Products) and its
subsidiary, GreenFirst QC (collectively,
GreenFirst), regarding GreenFirst QC’s
ownership and management, supplier
base, and customer base.4 On December

supplemental questionnaires to
GreenFirst requesting this information.5
On December 27, 2022 and April 24,
2023, GreenFirst timely responded to
these supplemental questionnaires.6 On

company as part of an antidumping
duty proceeding, Commerce examines
several factors including, but not
limited to: (1) management and
ownership; (2) production facilities; (3)
supplier relationships; and (4) customer
base.9 Although no single, or even
several, of these factors will necessarily
provide a dispositive indication of
succession, generally, Commerce will
consider a company to be the successorin-interest if its resulting operation is
not materially dissimilar to that of its
predecessor.10 Thus, if the ‘‘totality of
circumstances’’ demonstrate that, with
respect to the production and sale of the
subject merchandise, the new company
operates as essentially the same
business entity as the prior company,
Commerce will assign the successor-ininterest the cash deposit rate of its
predecessor.11
Preliminary Results of Review
We preliminarily determine that
GreenFirst QC is the successor-ininterest to RYAM for purposes of the
Order. Record evidence submitted by
GreenFirst indicates that, based on the
totality of the circumstances under
Commerce’s successor-in-interest
criteria, GreenFirst QC operates as
materially the same business entity as
RYAM with respect to the production
and sale of subject merchandise. In
particular, we preliminarily find that
while the management structure is
materially dissimilar under Greenfirst
QC from RYAM, there were not
substantial changes in ownership. In
addition, we preliminarily find that
GreenFirst’s production facilities,
supplier relationships, and customer
base with regard to the subject
merchandise are substantially the same
as RYAM’s before GreenFirst’s
acquisition of RYAM’s lumber assets.
Therefore, based on record evidence,
we preliminarily determine that
GreenFirst QC is the successor-ininterest to RYAM, and the cash deposit
rate assigned to RYAM should be the
rate for GreenFirst QC as a result of this
successor-in-interest finding. Should
Commerce’s final results of review
remain the same as these preliminary
results of review, GreenFirst QC will be
